I was driving into school this morning and when I was pulling into the parking lot my car was making a rattling noise coming from under neath. From what I can tell the engine was running fine. I kinda had a
Similar issue when I bought the car, it turned out to be
Rocks in the heat shield. I though I had it removed so I don't think its that. The sound was very similar. I wish I had more details but
I was running late so I had to leave it alone. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I was supposed to sell the car this weekend to uptake to a gt.
thanks!

You got me could be a lot of things to rattle......

Was it only at a certain speed? Feel any vibrations from the cabin?

The only thing I can think of is it being the cats. Is their something I could run through them? It's worth a shot.

DocSnickers

Not that I know of but you never know......

Does it have an electric cooling fan or is it engine mounted? Could check it to make sure its not loose.

It's not a metal clanking sound that could be a lifter hitting the valve cover?

Peyton95

I know it's not coming from the engine. It's sounds like its right under where I'm sitting. It almost sounds like rocks or something clanking around under there. It's hard to describe. I'm new here is their a
Way to post a video?
Thanks

Not sure about the fan. I don't think it's mounted to the engine

No, 94 up are 100% electric fan. You might have a heat shield coming off the cat, lift the car up, make sure you have blocks or stands or something just in case, wait till the car is as cooled off as possible then make sure it's in park/ neutral and hand brake is up, start the car and slip under it real quick and press on the heat shields to see if it quotes the rattle at all. Wear gloves if you got them.

Is their a heat sheild for each cat? I did have a heat shield removed before

Peyton95

Its fixed. i put it on a lift and there was a piece of metal in between the heat shield and the catalytic inverter. How it got there i have no idea lol.
